Family Day Conquers Coney Island

JUNE 23 — TWU Local 100's annual Family Day played host to thousands of transit workers who enjoyed seasonal temperatures and good weather (it didn't rain) in and around the MCU stadium just off the boardwalk and a few blocks south of Nathan's.

Games for the kids, music for all ages, and all the food you could eat —complete with two ice cream trucks— made for an enjoyable day as many friends re-united and families enjoyed the offerings. New this year, a video game van gave older kids something to do while the younger ones enjoyed face painting and a bouncy house. Each TWU Department catered their own affairs within the park. There was basketball, dancing, and a visit from pro football star Bart Scott, who signed autographs and posed for pictures. Also visiting were politicians who are special friends of Local 100, including Assemblyman Peter Abbate and Assemblywoman Latrice Walker. Enjoy the photos!
